Although what looks interesting is that you could code on any devise from desktop to mobile. Supports HTML, PHP, JavaScript, CSS, and XML no Java development possible. It really is only useful for HTML and JavaScript development. It was not eclipse-like in anyway, nor did it allow Java development. I signed up for an account and was immediately disappointed. Orion is an eclipse off-shoot, so it sounded promising. I concluded that this was not the cloud IDE for me. Once created I was faced with a spares workspace and no clear way to develop in Java. I created a new workspace, selected the technology ‘custom’ (Java not being available) and waited for the workspace to be created. No one likes to see themselves in photos. The UI was not intuitive nor did it resemble eclipse, and to make it worse my gravitar photo was displayed in the top left-hand corner of the desktop. The web site does not clearly specify that you can develop for Java EE although it claims that you can develop in ’23 other languages’ nor does it specify that you can test your code or deploy it to a remote server. This service provides an environment for developing code in Node.js, HTML5, PHP, Phyton/Django, Ruby on Rails, C/C++ and Custom. Connects to cloud based services such as Amazon Web Services and Git Hub.

If you require an IDE that is little more that a cloud text editor then nearly all the cloud IDEs would do the job, but I decided that I wanted to develop, test and deploy to a live server. What features one wants in a cloud IDE depend on the extent of the development that is to be done. As I soon found out many of the cloud IDEs are designed for web front-end technology such as HTML and JavaScript. My interest is Java EE technology and started to look for a cloud service that allowed me to develop, test and deploy a Java EE application. With so many of the traditional software tools going to the cloud I want to see how they compare to traditional tools. I often post about Cloud IDE and Java EE on Twitter.
